A dictionary of Marshall McLuhan’s quotations

Bell’s coming organizational changes will produce social mutations of some consequence? It will, of necessity, produce a new kind of “tribal man” in the original corporate, or group, sense – the kind of person who has survived the excesses of left-hemisphere thinking and who will have retrained his respect for the group awareness of the right hemisphere. He or she will be the psychic precursor of the ethos of the twenty-first century which will e largely lived imaginatively on the planet’s surface and in outer space.
